Patterns of Inheritance and Biotechnology

A new corn crop contains DNA that is not typically found in corn. What technique was used to form this crop?

• DNA recombination

• DNA karyotyping

• Cloning

• DNA fingerprinting

What is true of a person with blood type O?

• they can give blood to anyone and receive blood from anyone

• they can give blood to anyone and receive blood from AB blood type

• they can give blood to anyone and receive blood from only O blood type

• They can give blood to only O and receive blood from anyone

If a person with blood type AB has a baby with blood type A, what blood types might their child have?

• A, AB, or B

• A or AB

• AB or B

• A or B

What is it called when both versions of a trait are expressed in the phenotype?

• dominance

• sex-linkage

• codominance

• incomplete dominance

A black cow and a white cow produce offspring that is gray. What is that an example of?

• incomplete dominance

• multiple alleles

• codominance

• a polygenic trait

Why is colorblindness more common in males?

• the recessive gene on the male's single x chromosome is expressed

• genes on the y chromosome make genes on the x chromosome more active

• females cannot be colorblind

• colorblindness is dominant in males and recessive in females

What is the difference between prokaryotic DNA and eukaryotic DNA?

• prokaryotes have a larger genome, circular DNA, and no nucleus

• prokaryotes have a smaller genome, circular DNA, and a nucleus

• prokaryotes have a smaller genome, double helix DNA, and no nucleus

• prokaryotes have a smaller genome, circular DNA, and no nucleus

A pattern of inheritance in which a trait is carried on one of the sex-determining chromosomes.

• Dominant Inheritance
• Co-dominance
• Incomplete dominance
• Sex-linked inheritance

What type of inheritance do two alleles have if their traits blend together? 

• Incomplete Dominance
• Co-Dominance
• Dominant / Recessive Inheritance
• Homozygous Inheritance

A calico cat shows both the traits for orange fur and black fur. What kind of allele expression is this?

• Incomplete Dominance
• Co-dominance
• Sex-linked inheritance
• Recessive inheritance
